The Democratic Presidential Pre rogative. The "Law” Writer of the Eipress Fore stalls the Heport of the Democratic Minority in the Senate. Editor San Antonio Light. It seems that the ban Antonio Express has a law writer who furnishes that paper with the law upon all questions at issue in our City Council or in the halls of Congress this law writer signs himself “D. B." After reading “D. B,” upon the “Presidential Frerogative.” We are convinced that it Is a great mis fortune to the Democracy that he does not stand in Coke’s or Maxey's shoes, and fortunate for the Republicans that this constitutional Ajax'has not the op portunity to wipe the floor of tue Senate with such pigmies ns Sherman, Edmunds and Evarts. ’1 here may be same of the readers of the Light who are Interested In this question, particularly since the grejt D. B. has come to the relief of the Demo cratic party. Had the Express waited a few days longer they could publish the law from a Pan Electric stand-point, the very highest source from which Demo eratio legal opinion can flow. “D. B.” proceeds to show what the constitution means, but falls to quote the statute under wbich the President is authorized to aet, and sets up the claim, already set up by Presi dent Cleveland that it is the distinct “prerogative” of the president to make removals. A few quotations from D. B. are sufficient to show bis pe culiar styleof reasoning, he says: “Ibe constitution is silent upon the right of removal from office by the President,” and then in the next breath he adds that “no sane person will question the posi tion that the power of the Chief Execu tive to remove is incident to the office.” Further on he maintains tiiat the Sen ate's “sole power consists in defeating Improper nominations by the President." These quotations are enough to satisfy any one not a constitutional idiot that D. B. has mistaken bis calling. The constitution is silent so far as giving the President the right to remove any officer appointed “by and with the consent and advice of the Senate,” and so is the statute under which the President acts. Now let the patient reader earetul'y read this section of the act quoted, and it w ill be made plain that for the first time it is claimed to be a presidential pre rogative to remove an officer appointed “by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.” Section 1768. “During any recess of the Senate, the President is authorized in his discretion to suspend any civil of ficer appointed by and with the advice of the Senate, except Judges of the Courts of the L'nited States, until the end of the next session of the Senate, and to designate some suitable person, subject to be removed, in his descretion, by the designation of another, to per form the duties of such suspended officer in the meantime; and the person so designated shall take the oath and give the bond required by law to be taken and given by the suspended officer, and shall during the time he performs the duties of such officer, be entitled to the salary and etroluments of tho oflice, no part of which shall belong to the officer suspended. The President shall witbin 30 days after the commencement of each session of the Senate, except for any of fice which in his opinion ought not to be filled, nominate persons to fill all va cancies in office which existed at the meeting of the Senate, whether tem porarily Ailed or not, and also in place of all officers suspended; and if the Sen ate during such session shall refuse to advise and consent to an appointment in the place of any suspended officer, then and not otherwise, the President shall nominate another person as soon as prac ticable to the same session of the Senate for the office." Now. if it had been intended to give the powerof "removal’' to the Presideut, the word “remove” would appear in place of “suspend.” Tbe two words are entirely different and distinct in their meanings, and easily understood by any one of ordinary sense. If it bad been in tended to confine the Senate to the ex amination ot the character of the per on nominated, and not the causes for the suspension, why the statute would say so in plain terms; in fact, all tbe power and authority of the President as to re movals or suspensions is derived from tbe statute, “the constitution is silent” on the subject. The only power of “removal” given tbe President is con tained in the provision authorizing him to remove the person appointed by him self in place of tbe suspended office, to wlt: “and to designate some suitable person subject to be removed, in bis dis cretion, by the designation of another, to perform the duties of such suspended office;” that is, he has a right to change his mind before the Senate acts upon the matter. And in this, bis "prerogative” to remove alone exists. Had the act of suspension by the President been intend ed to operate as a removal, then it would have been unnecessary to provide against the suspended officer claiming the salary during tae pendency of the case. In case of the refusal of the Senate to confirm an appoint ment, the President is allowed one more chance to redeem himself by send ing in one more nomination, but this would not help tbe President in the present dilemma. In all these discussions tho tenure of office section of tbe statute comes to be lost sight of by the law expounders, which reads: “Section 1767.-Every person holding any civil oflice to which he has been or hereafter may be appointed by and with the consent of the Senate, and who shall have become duly qualified to act therein, shall be entitled to hold such oflice during the term for which he was appointed, unless sooner removed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, or by the appointment with the like advice and consent, of a successor in bis place, except as herein otherwise provided.” It is plain that this is the law under which this whole matter must be con sidered. The officer is entitled to hold bis office tor tbe term for which he was appointed, unless sooner removed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, or by the appointment, with tbe like advice and consent, of a successor in bls place. In this section the Senate must consent to an officer’s removal and has a right and in duty bourd must ex amine Into the case and see if tbe officer has been rightfully deprived of his ten ure of office. If this was not the case, then the entire statute is a hum bug, and if the interpretation sought to be put on It is to be acceeded to them let it be repealed and one passed ex plicit and plain in its terms leaving out tbe tenure of oflice, and clothing tbe President with the power of the Czar of Russia. If the Senate's only right, ac cording to "D. B,” exists in examining into the fitness of tbe appointees and not into tbe causes of removal of the sus pended officer, then it Is ridiculous to trouble the Senate with matter at all. but assume that if tbe President can make no mistake In suspending to make rooui in appointing, and then truly will he copy the great Democratic Presiden tial Prerogative. Now, D. 8.. it makes very little differ ence to the Republicans bow the Presi dent and his Pan-Electric-Telcphone- Cabinet act. If they conclude not to surrender the “Prerogative” and show up the papers on which are based the suspensions, (of which, those in Judge Evans’case are a sample.) why the ma jority in the Senate will simply refuse to con fl rm the appointments. Iftbe Pan Electrics surrender, why you cun have the otlices and we will take the litera ture and furnish it to the people for light reading during the next two years. Bl I XI. RED RIVER.

He could not persuade himself that he had wronged Monk, who was in reality an amiable person, instead of a domineering bully; no, that suggestion was contradicted by every expression of the man's baleful and suspicious face. What, then, could be the explanation of his sudden attack of courtesy? An idea! an inspiration! As it flash ed into his mind, the young man gave vent to a prolonged whistle. Possibly, Monk was jealous! The idea was a preposterous one, and almost amusing. It was not to l>e con ceived. on the tirst blush of it. that jeal ousy would make a surly man civil, a savage man gentle; it w ould rather have the contrary effect, unless—here Brink ley grew thoughtful—unless his gloomy rival iiad some sinister design which he wished to cloak with politeness? But jealous of little Matt! Brinkley laughed heartily, when he realized the absurdity of the notion. He crossed the sand-hills, and came again to the path which he ami Matt had followed the previous day. A smart breeze was coming in from the sou’- west, and the air was fresh and cool, though sunny; but clouds were gather ing to the windward. and the weather was evidently broken, lieaehing the cliffs, he descended them, and came down on the rocks beneath. A long jagged point ran out from the spot where he stood, and the water to lee ward of the same was quite calm, though rising and failing in strong, troubled swells. So bright mid tempt ing did it look in tlull sheltered place, that he determined to have a swim. lie stripped leisurely. and. placing Ids clothes in a safe plm e, took a headeroff the rocks. It was lear al once that he was a powerful swimmer. Breasting the smooth swell, he struck out from the shore, and. win n lie had gone about a hundred yards, floated lazily on his back and surveyed the shore. The diffs were not very high, but their forms were finely picturesque. Here and there were still, green creeks, fringed with purple weed; and large shadowy caves, hewed roughly in the side of the crags; and rocky islets, cov ered with slimy weed and awash with the lapping water. A little tothe right of the spot from which he had dived, the cliff seemed hollowed out, forming a wide passage which the sea entered with a tramp and a rush and a roar. Toward this passage Brinkley swam. He knew the danger of such places, for he had often explored them both in Cornwall and the West of Ireland: but he had confidence in his own natatory skill. Approaching the shore leisurely with strong, slow strokes, he paused outside the passage, and observed that the sea-swell, entering the opening, rushed and quickened itself like a rapid shooting to the fall, turning at the base of the cliff into acloudof thin prismatic spray. Suddenly, through the top of the spray, a cloud of rock pigeons emerged, winging their light rapidly along the crags. Brinkley knew by this lasi phenome non that the spray concealed the en trance of some large subterranean cav ern. If any doubt had remained on his mind, it would have been dispelled by the appearance of a solitary pigeon, which, leaving its companions, wavered lightly bacly. Hew back through the spray with a rapiddownv.md II ght.and disappeared. He was floating a little nearer, with an enjoyment deepened by the sense of danger, when a figure suddenly appear ed on the rocks close by him, wildly waving its hands. “Keep back! Keep back!” criedavoice. lie looked at the figure, and recog nized William Jones. He answered him, but the sound of his voice was drowned by the roar from the rocks. Then William Jones shouted again more indistinctly, and repeated his ex cited gestures. It was clear that he was warning the swimmer against some hid den danger. Brinkley took the warn ing, and struck out from the shore, and then back to the olace where he had left Watching his opportunity, he found a suitable spot and clamliered in upon ths rocks. He had just driest himself and thrown on some of his clothes, when he saw William Jones standing near and watching him. “How are you?" asked the young num. with a nod. “Pray, what did you mean by going on in that absurd way just now?” “What did I mean?” repeated William, with a little of his former excitement. “Ix>ok ye, now, I was waving you back from the Devil's Caldron. There's many a man been drowned there, and been washed away Lord knows where. I've beeid tell,” he added, solemnly, "they're carried right down into the Devil's own kitchen.” “I'm much obliged to you. Mr. Jones, but I'm used to such dangers, and I think I know how to take care of my self.” William Jones shook his head a little angrily. “Don't you come here no more,that's all.” he said, and muttering ominously to himself, retired. But lie only ascend ed the neighlioring crag, and squatting himself there like a bird of ill-omen, kept bis eyes on the stranger. Having dressed himself. Brinkley climbed in the same direction. He found William seated on the edgeof the crag, looking the reverse of amiable, and amusing himself by throwingstones in the direction of the sea. “You seem to know this place well?” said the young man. standingover him. William Jones replied, without look ing up: “I ought to; I were born here. Fath er were born here. Know it? I wish I know'd as well how to make my own fortin’.” “And yet they tell me," observed the other, watching him slyly, “that Wil liam Jones, of Aberglyn, has money in the bank, and is a rich man!" He saw William s color change at once; but recovering himself quickly, the worthy gave a contempt nous grunt, and aimed a stone spitefully ata large gull which just tlien floated slowly by. “Who told you IhalT” lie asked, glanc ing quickly up. and then looking down again. “Some tomfool, wi" no more sense in 'un than that gull. It ch? I wish I was, I do!” Brinkley was amused, and a little curious. Laughing gayly, he threw himself down by William's side. Wil liam shifted his seat uneasily, and threw another stone. “My dear Mr. Jones,” said the young man, assuming the flippant style which Matt found so irritating, “I have often wondered how you get your living." William started nervously. “You are. I believe, a fisherman by profession; yet you never go fishing. You possess a boat: but you are seldom seen to use it. You are not. I think, of a poetical disposition; yet you spend your days in watching tlie water, like a poet, or a [wrson in love. I conclude, very reluctantly, that your old habits stick to you. and that you speculate on the disasters of your fellow-creatures.” “What d'ye mean, master?” grunted William, puzzled and a I.Hie alarmed by this style of address. “A nice wreck, now. would admirably suit your tastes? A well-laden India man, smashing up on the reef yonder, would lend sunshine to your existence, and deepen your faith in a paternal Providence? Eh. Mr. Jones?” “I don't know nowt about no wrecks.” was the reply. "They're no consarn o’ mine.” “Ah, but I have heard you lament the good old times, when wrecking was a respectable occupation, and when there were no impertinent coast-guards to in terfere with respectable follow ers of the business. By the way. I have often wondered. Mr. Jones, if popular report is true, and if, among these cliffs or the surrounding sand-hills, there is buried treasure, cast up from time to time by the sea, and concealed by energetic per sons like yourself?" William Jones could stand this no longer. Looking as pale as it was pos sible for so rubicund a person to be come, and glancing round him suspi ciously, he rose to bis feet. “I know nowt o' that,” he said. "If there is summat. I w ish I could find it; but such things never come the way of honest chaps like me. Good-moruiu', master! Take a poor man's advice, and don’t you go swimming no more near the Devil's Caldron!” So saying, lie walked oil in the direc tion of the deserted village. Presently Brinkley rose and followed him. keep ing him steadily in view. From time to time William Jones looked round,as if to see whether the other was coming; lingering when Brinkley lingered, hast ening his pace when Brinkley hastened his. As an experiment. Brinkley turn ed and began walking back toward the cliff. Glancing round over hisshoulder, he saw that William Jones had also turned, and was walking back. “Curious!” he reflected. “The inno cent one is keeping me in view. I have a good mind to breathe him!" He struck off from the path, and hast ened, running rather than walking, to ward the sand-hills. So soon as he was certain that lie was followed, he began to run in good earnest. To his delight, William began running too. He plung ed among the sand-hills, and was soon engaged busily running up and down them hither and thither. From time to time he caught a glimpse of his pur suer. Itwasanexcitingcha.se. When he had been engaged in it for half an hour, and was almost breathless him self, he suddenly paQsed in one of the deep hollows, threw himself down on his back, and lit a cigar. A few min utes afterward. be heard a sound as of violent puffing and breathing, and the next instant William Jones, panting, gasping, perspiring at every pore, ap peared above him. “How d'ye do, Mr. Jones?" he cried, gayly. “Come and have a cigar!" Instead of replying. William Jones looked completely thunder-struck, and after glaring feebly down and mutter ing incoherently, disappeared as sud denly as he had come. Brinkley finished his cigar leisurely, and then strolled back to the caravan. (To be VnatiniMie} Buckten's Arnica Salve The Best Salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises. Sores, Ulcere.

In the former International A Great Northern ticket office. When a Light reporter stepped in all the tables were surrounded by beautiful ladies in appropriate na tional costume, having their hair powdered and covered with jaunty little frilled caps and wearing aprons formed from United States flags. Eigh teen tables full of silver ware and edibles were ranged on both sides of the spacious hall, and the walls were festooned with American bunting and flags, and beauti ful pictures and steel engravings. Din ner was served from 11 a. m. to 3 p. m., and supper will be served from 6 to 10 this evening. The lunch will probably be continued during the sane hours to morrow.

Mr. Gregg came down to buystock. but find ing the delightfulness of our climate, he is looking about, and if he can find a ylace Io suit him, will make this portion iis permanent home. He is now engaged n raising line stock, and would prob ably continue that business should be locate in Texas. The Live Stock Market. Considerable activity is displayed at the stockmen’s n sort about the South ern hotel this morning. Some trading has been done, but just what number changed hands it is yet impossible to say for certain, as everybody is bound to secresy as yet. Enough is known to warrant the quotation of $8 for yearling, straight Texas, and $l2 for two-year olds. Offers have been re fused above those figures, although some sales have been on the quotations. There is a strong disinclination on the part of those buying fordriving, against taking yearlings', as the losses have been too great among them for the past few years, and two-year-olds are more in demand. There are fine prospects of a lively trade the coming week. The rain has biightened the brows of the rancherosand it may have the effect of stiffening their backbone some. Recorder’s Court. A.

Cost of the Hungarian Strike. Pittsburg, February 19.—The action of the coke workers at the convention at Scottdale yesterday, in resolving to ac cept no compromise, has had a tendency to increase the bitterness of the strug gle, and a settlement seems further away than ever. More workmen were idle to day than at any time since the beginning of the strike. Only two small works were in operation, and they were not running full. Notices will be posted up by many operators on their tenement bouses in a few days, making a final de mand upon their tenants to vacate their property on March Ist, and after that time evictions will become general. The magnitude of the strike is greater than many people imagine. The amount of capital invested in the coke business from Pleasant Unity ;to Fair Chance would reach $18,000.- 000. This great sum does not in clude speculative investments in coal land, but is the aggregate of the cost price of the different plants of the re gion. Not only is no interest being made on this great total, but on the other hand more capital is to be expen ded in keeping the property intact from external danger from strikers and inter nal danger from flooding. The monthly interest is almost $106,000, while it is impossible to compute the expense ac count without access to the books. Rail roads are losing freightage to the extent of 800 car loads daily, while 2000 cars on side tracks are bringing in no revenue whatever. On the other side about 6500 laborers engaged In operating the works are losing $9OOO daily in unearned wages, making for the 33 working days they have been idle a gross loss of $297,000. If the strike continues much longer, it will take years for beth capital and la bor to recover the ground lost on both sides during this unfortunate disagree ment. —When you need any job printing call around and get prices at the Light office. —Themost popular cigarettes are the Opera Puffs at popular price. 4-7-ly HANCOCK AND SEYMOUR. A Striking Similarity Between Them. Two Men Made Great b, one Event and Both Succumb to a Common Fate. General Hancock, the pride of the army; of splendid physique, martial bearing; the gbedlentsoldier, whom war made famous, Gov. Seymour, the old time gentle man, the pacific statesman, the idol of a great party,— Both men standard-bearers of the Democracy, the one a soldier, the other as a statesman in a presidential contest —both dead; both dead at almost the same hour! There is a remarkable parallel and con trast between these two men. The war period made both famous. Both were patriots; both yielded to the same am bition ootb succumbed to the same fate! Hancock apparently well one day, the next, says the World, “is sinking step by step, like a person descending a pair of stairs.” Governor Seymour, says the associated press, has been gradually failing for eight years. Both men, though of en tirely different temperament, yield to a common fate. Hancock's case was discovered by an eminent physician at the very late mo ment to be beyond help, because, hack of the malignant ulcer in his neck, was a disorder which made living impossi ble. Governor Seymour’s life for eight years has been feeble, as the Associated Press says, because of a serious attack of renal inflammation some time ago, and his death therefrom has only been a question of time! Both Hancock and Seymour might have lived many years had they known and recognized the fact that they were each of them victims of a dangerous kid ney disorder, and treated themselves successfully as thev might have done by that great scientific specific, Warner's safe cure. Well might u well-known physician exclaim “1 sometimes think people would never die if their kidneys were always sound.” An eminent New York physician says: “Hancock's kidneys stopped excreting urea.” No wonder he died, for4lklgrains of this horrible blood poisoner should be passed out by the kidneys every day; if they fail, disease runs riot through the whole system and death is inevitable. Deaths from kidney disorders are of the commonest occurrence among all classes, but are more noticeable in these two cases, be-'ause of the prominence of the victims. Thousands of cases of needless deaths, aye, of actual suicide and homi cide occur every year, because people and physicians fail to give proper atten tion to the only blood purifiers in tlie system. These two cases, occurring so strik ingly near each other, originating in n common source, and eventuating in a common fate, ought to arouse the peo ple to the necessity of allowing no seas on to pass wl:bout taking a few bottles of the great specific alluded to, which is the only remedy known that has di rect power and control over these great organs, not only preventing and curing the diseases to which they are subject, but also preventing and curing the many, many diseases which would never exist if these organs "were always sound.” I'l nei multi Tiuies-Star. Quasi-slave labor on the Pacific Coast is an evil that must be eradicated. Cool ies are intolerable intruders. Their company nobody desires tbeir room is wanted.’ The experiment of bringing together two incongruous civilizations lias been an ntter aid grievous failure. But only lawful methods of ridding the conntry of the Chinese can be counten anced. The Government does right to sternly suppress anti-Chinese rioting.
